Zongshen 200GY-2: Electrical System Resistance Values

[SpudRider]

When troubleshooting electrical problems for the Zong, it's best to measure the resistance values of all the electrical components. ;) Measure the resistance values when the engine is cold. You don't make any measurements while cranking the engine. ;) Here are the specified resistance values I have obtained from the TW200 and XT225 Service Manuals.

Electrical System Resistance Values

Spark plug cap resistance:
Both Yamaha manuals specifiy 10K Ohms

Ignition coil resistance:
Primary Coil: Yamaha XT225 manual specifies 0.56 to 0.84 Ohms
Secondary Coil: Yamaha XT225 manual specifies 5.68K to 8.52K Ohms

Pickup/Pulse Coil Resistance:
Both Yamaha manuals specify 656 to 984 Ohms

Exciter/Charge Coil Resistance:
Yamaha XT225 Manual specifies 584 to 876 Ohms
